This also happens with other blocks if moving from any other block to a chest/sign

This might also happen on other blocks than chests or signs (MC-62934)
Can be seen in a recent Generikb video on youtube.

Chest issue at 7:15 in the video. Also affects mob rendering at 8:05.
I suspect that chests/mob heads are being incorrectly rotated and rendered that way. (North/South, 90 degrees, something like that)
Fixed in 1.8pre2.
Confirmed
